After the phenomenal year of 1981, the slasher flow was still going strong. Now, not only was there a crazy amount of slashers appearing the theaters, there was a heavy amount pouring onto home video. VHS tapes were revolutionary to the average horror fan. You could watch all your favorite movies in the comfort of your own living room thanks to Mom &amp; Pop video stores. Plus, if you really liked the film you were renting, you could copy the rental tape onto a new VHS and never have to rent again! For the average slasher fan, it was the ultimate dream...

I cannot believe this film is real! If they re-released this in cinemas it would be a box office smash!
